I enjoy working with clients and active service members/veterans from all different backgrounds and stages of life who are learning to live with chronic medical conditions,
pain
, or injury that has disrupted their normal functioning and way of life. Psychotherapy may help clients, their children, spouse, and caregivers manage the stress and demands that come up when you are living with a chronic medical condition. The goal of psychotherapy is to help you accept or change feelings you may experience such as anger, anxiety, frustration, depression, loss, grief, and feeling "stuck" or trapped by your health issues or physical injury.

My hope is that counseling is a space where you can experience goodness in the middle of your grief, questions, and
pain
and learn how to incorporate the painful events as part of your story and not the whole narrative.
I believe therapy is holistic work where we learn to recognize the strength that lies within ourselves as we retell our stories. I am eager to walk beside those in the trenches and give them a safe space to process the things that may feel too heavy to hold alone. I bring a collaborative approach to therapy in a non-judgmental environment where clients are empowered to be their whole selves and move toward healing and growth. I believe the reason people begin counseling can point toward a deeper story that we can explore and work through together.

Want to feel better in much less time than typical "talk" therapy? I use Hypnosis, Hypnotherapy, and NLP to address your subconscious mind at the level below conscious awareness. Hypnotherapy is "quick therapy" because it works within a natural yet altered state of consciousness, reprogramming old habits and behaviors that no longer serve you. Let your subconscious mind to the heavy lifting this time.

Chronic Pain Therapists
How does chronic pain therapy work?
Engaging with a psychotherapist to help treat chronic pain does not mean that one’s pain is all in their head. Therapy for chronic-pain patients has been shown to benefit both the mind and the body, targeting physical symptoms and increasing daily functioning. In other words, for many, addressing their emotional health through therapy affects their physical health. A therapist can help a client challenge unhelpful thoughts about pain and develop new ways to respond to it, such as distraction or calming breathing techniques. Studies have found that therapy can be as effective as surgery for certain cases of chronic pain and many doctors recommend trying psychotherapy in advance of considering invasive surgery.
What are the most effective treatment options for chronic pain?
Stress, anxiety, depression, catastrophizing, ruminating, lack of activity, and social withdrawal all make chronic pain worse. Addressing these issues, research shows, can help people gain control over their pain symptoms. Therapeutic approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, biofeedback, and mindfulness-based stress reduction, along with greater pain-management education, have been found to help people reduce fear and disability.
Are there new treatments for chronic pain?
Many cases of chronic pain, particularly those involving back pain, remain medically unexplained. But there is evidence that changes in the brain or nervous system are caused by previous physical ailments such as tissue damage; in such cases, the brain may continue to send out pain signals despite the physical cause having healed. To aid patients under these circumstances, a recently developed treatment known as pain reprocessing therapy (PRT) is designed to help the brain “unlearn” this response. A PRT practitioner helps individuals to reduce the “threat value” of their ongoing pain signals until they can reappraise them as less threatening and fear-inducing. They also help an individual to develop new emotional regulation skills.
How long does therapy for chronic pain take?
There is no set timeline for recovery from chronic pain, especially as there may be a range of physical and psychological causes for any individual’s discomfort, but most patients should expect to see a therapist for a number of weeks or months, typically spanning at least 12 sessions. Studies of pain reprocessing therapy found that many individuals’ experience of pain lessened in eight sessions over four weeks.
